MONO - Otis Redding - The Dock of the Bay (1968) UK Stax vinyl LP album MINT/VG+
SUPER-RARE, MAGNIFICENT CONDITION, pre-owned MONO vinyl album released in the UK in 1968 on the Stax label (Cat. No. 230001). Matrix numbers are: 231001 A ▽ 1 2 2 and 231001 B ▽ 1 2 2.
The entire package has been housed in a polythene sleeve for 40+ years and is included in the sale. The paper labels are in excellent condition but light spindle markings exist on both. The front cover title is printed as "Sittin' On The Dock Of The Bay" whereas the labels and spine read "The Dock Of The Bay".

SOME of my albums/EPs are graded visually ONLY (but, even then, I will test-play at least one track on each side). If a record has recently been played in its entirety I will state so below. I recommend that you do not attempt to remove any price stickers or suchlike from the sleeve.
Grading (played in its entirety)
Price Sticker on sleeve? NO
Sleeve: VG+ some creasing on the (front only) laminate, faint fingerprints on rear, spine not too bad)
Vinyl: MINT looks new - plays superbly
Inner: VG+ original plain paper (not polylined, unfortunately)
Extras: N/A
All of my records are honestly graded according to the system established by Record Collector magazine:
MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition and may even be unplayed, with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have very slight wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
No copies, fakes or imports of dubious origin here.
OVERSEAS BUYERS: I can offer a small, discretionary, discount for multiple albums bought and paid for in a single purchase. This cannot be done on the app so I would suggest: (1) using the eBay site on a desktop or laptop, (2) adding the items to your basket, (3) DO NOT PAY but, instead, request the invoice total from seller, and (4) await my invoice. (5) I'll issue the discounted invoice as promptly as I can and (6) you may then make your single payment for more than one record. Please note that it may be several hours before I can issue your invoice for multiple purchases - I am not online all day and night(!) If these steps are not followed then I'm afraid that I cannot offer any discount due to the inflexibility of eBay's new payment system.
If you are buying only one item from me, please just go straight ahead and make your purchase and payment - no need to wait for an invoice.
For overseas buyers, I only ship Airmail - Surface Mail may be slightly cheaper but is considerably less dependable.
If the item is being sent from the UK the recipient may need to pay VAT and customs duty. These may not apply if the order is under ?22, but the threshold varies between EU countries.
Beginning 1 July 2021, the EUR22 exemption will be removed and eBay will be required to collect VAT on certain orders delivered to EU addresses.
If you're having an order delivered to an address outside of the UK or EU, local consumer tax and/or customs duty may apply. Online marketplaces such as eBay may be responsible for collecting the tax, or the parcel's recipient may need to pay these as part of clearing the parcel through customs. For more information, please check the local tax and customs regulations.
